VIDEO: Black Friday madness around the country

Antelope Valley residents were out in droves this morning (many even camped out overnight) taking advantage of Black Friday discounts and deals.

As of 3 p.m., Friday (Nov. 23), there were no reports of mayhem associated with Black Friday shoppers in the Antelope Valley, according to the watch commanders at the Lancaster and Palmdale Sheriff’s Stations.

“It’s been pretty smooth for us,” said Lt. Carter of the Lancaster Station.

The same cannot be said for other parts of the country.
